Hicks | September 21, 1993 |
A shallow rectangular frame has a hanger by which it can be suspended. The frame internally mounts a compartment-defining sheet with vertically oriented partitions. Upper ends of each of the compartments have hooks from which to suspend elongate articles of jewelry within the compartments. An auxiliary cloth panel of rectangular configuration has a plurality of pockets and is tackable or pinable to receive various articles of jewelry. In the underside of the top rail a plurality of horizontally spaced apart outwardly facing cup hooks are provided to engage a rod carried in aligned fabric loops at the upper edge of the auxiliary panel. The panel can thus be selectively placed laterally with respect to the main frame to expose the open sides of some only of the compartments. A travel envelope can be sleeved over the auxiliary panel and has a plurality of external pockets to receive sundry items. Velcro patches are provided along the travel envelope sleeve opening and on opposite sides of the upper edge of the auxiliary panel. A flap with pairs of Velcro patches along opposite edges is selectively detachably connectable to either the upper edge of the travel envelope or the upper edge of the auxiliary panel.
